It may sound melodramatic, but leadership without
commitment from others is like a tree falling in the
forest without anyone hearing the sound. Leadership
requires people and actions more than words.
Leadership and team performance are so
interconnected, you simply cannot have one without
the other. Exemplary leaders are able to unlock the
door to unused potential and transform potential into
reality. Leadership is far from an exact science,
nevertheless, there seems to be common threads that
run between exemplary leaders and effective
organizations or teams.The research study focused on
one specific question: What effect did General
(Retired) Gordon R. Sullivan s leadership have on
people under his command? Specifically, how did his
leadership impinge upon other people to develop their
leadership skills and make change within the
organization? The findings of this study demonstrated
that General (Retired) Gordon R. Sullivan facilitated
changes within the U.S. Army utilizing the aspects of
transformational leadership identified by Bennis and
Nanus (1997) as competencies of vision,
communication, trust, and self-development.
